Obama = Wrong-Way Corrigan
Just when the country was ready to repudiate the Reagan Revolution, he came around telling soothing lies about how our problem wasn't the conservatives and neo-conservatives, the problem was "bickering" partisanship from both sides.

2. Say what?
Glad you like the site but I do not know of this banning you speak of. Was Lambert banned? When?

5. Sorry, I mispoke. I thought Corrente had posted about being banned here, but his ID is still live.
(I don't know if he still posts here.)

:dunce:

7. Corrente is a group blog, not the identity of a single blogger
I'm just one of the "senior fellows," as the site regulars are called.

I took a breather from DU for a while, because I was overdosing on the irony of Obama fans chanting rabidly that they weren't cult members, back when that was the topic du jour.

After my fellow Americans did us proud by keeping Hillary in the race in Ohio and Texas, I rejoined the living, if you call this living. The tenor of the conversation here has gotten lower and dumber, but I figure I can maybe pitch in to try to blunt the lies and Hillary hate a little. It's a tough job, but as I see on another thread, apparently I'm being paid handsomely for it! Who knew?

9. You one of those gas tax holiday supporters?
I'm assuming you must be since you still support her. This is the exact type of partisanship bickering that needs to end, and that's one of the many things that Obama represents. If Hillary hadn't proposed this gas tax holiday, her supporters would be berating John McCain over it if she was the frontrunner.

We'll welcome you into the fold pretty soon, toward a newer, better America moving away from the 'static America'.

4. Yes, indeed, but thanks for the cool link
I think the analogy fits pretty well, because after a while you gotta wonder if it's an accident when a Democrat keeps calling the Republicans the "party of ideas," Reagan "transformative," and progressives "Chablis-drinking limousine liberals" and "perverse."

8. I'm sure the Obamites
would rather use one of their mantras ( funny how the non-cult has so many mantras ) like "lettuce inks", oops, um, "kitchen sink", err, "leaden dink", something like that, than comment with any degree of intelligence on the KEY issue of Obama.....his REPUBLICAN LOVE!!!

The fact that the Right hates Hillary and embraces Obama says it all for me. I don't want Repub-lite.
